Stock Update - Real Arcade Pro Orange Stick PS2 - 4961818009615 - HP2-261 - Back In Stock!

With a shortage of hori sticks permeating the US today, we're lucky to have secured small amounts of the real arcade pro orange stick for ps2. It's heavy duty base in conjunction with its sanwa parts makes it a definite buy for any fighting game buff.

I own a real arcade pro 2 sa, and I recommend laying it on a table, rather than your lap. The joystick is heavy enough where it won't move when performing moves. The top left of the joystick is a rapid-fire control panel.

The stick is only available through amazon.co.jp, thus only small amounts were secured. Please keep in mind that because the unit is 2600g and contains dimension weight, shipping charges will be slightly higher than normal.
